Y-DNA haplogroup
J2b-M205
I promised that I would open thread about haplogroup J2b-M205.

Few friends (Y-DNA cousins) and I tried to found more about this mysterious lineage, especially about "Balkanic branch".
We investigate this haplogroup from 2013. and I think that we know a little bit more about this haplogroup, then people who don't belong to it.

So, if you guys have any questions about this haplogroup, especially about "Balkanic branch", I will try to help you.
I'm unable to post links here for now, but soon I will post many interesting things about us (ancient DNA, maps, TMRCA calculations, story about former Kriči tribe).
 
Among Albanians This haplogroup is associated with mountain tribes indicating an old local presence together with E-V13.
 
Hello

Have you any information about tmrca between "balkanic branch" and french and spanish j2b1m05

Best regards

Nik,
The thread Frontier1768 has opened is in regards to haplogroup J2b1-M205.

Albanian J2b is almost exclusively J2b2-M241>L283:

Not all J2b is the same ;)
J2b-M102 split into J2b1 and J2b2 about 15800 years ago and it wasn't in the Balkans: https://www.yfull.com/tree/J-M102/

However, J2b2-L283 has older TMRCAs in the Balkans (very similar to E-V13) which indicates a longer presence than J2b1-M205.

Nik, as Trojet said J2b1-M205 and J2b2-M241 are not the same.

Haplogroup J2b1-M205 have stronger presence on western and northern Balkans (Serbo-Croatian and western Bulgarian areas), while J2b2-M241 have stronger presence on southern and eastern Balkans (Greek, Albanian and eastern Bulgarian areas).


As we speak about Albanians and Albania, there are also few J2b1-M205:
1) we have two Albanians (one of them is from Tirana, Albania; we don't know origin of second guy) and one Vlach (from Andon Poci, Albania) from studies
2) we have two Albanians (one of them is from Bar area, Montenegro; second of them is from Zall-Bastar, Albania) from 23andMe, but we don't have their haplotypes
3) we have one Albanian (from Gnjilane area, Serbia) from FTDNA

First group have closest matches among Greeks, while third guy have closest matches with "Balkanic branch" (DYS392=12).


I agree with Trojet, I also think that J2b2-M241 have longest presence on Balkans then J2b1-M205.

I can compare guys (67 and 111 markers) from "Balkanic branch" with French and Spanish, with "Nevski" calculator.
 
You're right guys, sorry I got them confused.

Interestingly the the point I wanted to make remains the same since u mentioned that a Vlach from Albania belongs to it, as the Krici were definitely either a Vlach or Albanian tribe from Northern Montenegro just like many other tribes in the area as well as Herzegovina at that time. It's further evidence that J2b1-M205 and I2a-Din are both present in Vlachs, indicating a clearly non-Slavic origin but simply Northern Balkan relatively indigenous haplogroups.

My assumption has always been that these haplogroups were more numerous in Pannonia, Dacia and Northern Moesia and were pushed southward by the various attacks by Goths, Huns, Alans, etc. and finally Slavs, finding refuge in the Dinaric mountains.
 
So can you compare kit 221268 (ftdna) with balkanic branch in order to know the tmrca?



Thanks
 
ok what would be the origin then?

Be careful with this "Vlach tribe" or "Albanian tribe".
We speak about Balkans in early Middle Ages, when we can make clear separation only of "Romans" (people of Roman empire) and "barbarians" (invaders).

Today, majority of "Balkanic branch" (J2b-M205) are located in the Northern Balkans, but we can find 90% full matches outside of Balkans, in Mediterranean area (Lebanon, Anatolia, Sicily, Emilia-Romagna, Catalonia), so it's most precise that we look at this as an Mediterranean branch (by origin, of course).

Finally I can post links, so let's get started with basic informations about our haplogroup.

And as a Mediterranean branch it cannot be Slavic but indigenous to the Balkans. That's all I meant.

From what we know today, it can't be Germanic or Slavic (by origin) for sure.
We have plenty of studies for Germanic and Northern Slavic countries, and I think that J2b-M205 can be found above 1% only at few islolated spots (example: Wroclaw, but only 1/100).
 
thanks
i only watched : tree.j2-m172.info/?Hg=J2b1

and i didnt see anything
